28: Mana or Magi
"Someone really doesn't want us to find out what's going on. So I'll quickly put him in my storage subspace so we can scan his body later," Carly said, scanning the dead body and it disappearing digitally like a video game character.
"Now, that is cool. You're like a mega-man or something." Isaiah said with an impressive look.
Cary powered down her armor, and it transformed back into the skintight suit.
"Thank you," she said, looking away with a red face.
"Well, that wraps up this mission; tell your wife we'll be leaving from here. If something like this happens again, don't hesitate to contact us. Oh, and feel free to take all of the Komodo carcasses, we'll just take one of them." Kat said
"Thank you very much princess, we will have a feast in your honor," Kenny said Boeing.
Kenny turns to Isaiah.
"I see you have gotten the hang of the spear," Kenny said
"I feel like it's more like a javelin, but yea, it's a great weapon. Thank you again." Isaiah replied.
"I'm glad you didn't forget how to use it. I'm not sure what the limitations are on it. Still, seeing as how you can put your raw cold energy into it instead of Magi, it should work the same, which is pretty surprising. Kenny said, scratching the back of his head.
"I'm guessing you forgot that I don't use magic? Don't you mean Mana, though?" Isaiah said
"No, they're different in a sense. Magi is the energy that flows through magical creatures. They usually only manipulate whatever element their race has an affinity for. Kat said.
"Right, mages aren't born with any mana in their bodies because Mana is made up of creatures made out of pure magic. Called Spirits. Carly explained.
Isaiah sits there with a blank stare.
"This isn't the time for an info dump; let's head home already," Carly said, rolling her eyes.
"Alright, see you later, Kenny," Isaiah said, waving.
Kat drops their bubble, and they start leaving back to the Academy.
"Are we going to just swim all the way back? That seems like a pretty long trip," Isaiah asked.
"Of course not; I'm calling us a ride right now," Kat said.
Kat let out a massive sound wave in the direction they were headed. It wasn't loud, but it was like someone carrying a deep piano note for too long.
She got one back in less than 3min.
"Great, they're not that far," Kat said, swimming a little faster.
"Who is she talking about?" Isaiah asked Carly in the mind link.
"Do you need everything explained to you?" Carly said, frustrated.
"Ugh, yea, I literally do; I know nothing about anything in the Infinite void," Isaiah said, making a face.
"Right, sorry, but she's calling a whale, most likely a killer one or a blue one. They're kind of like the peacekeepers of the ocean, under the protection of all of the ocean masters. Also, there are really fast swimmers, so we'll get back pretty fast.
Isaiah, Kat, and Carly meet up with a small back of blue whales. The blue whales took them the rest of the way to IPA. On the way Back, Isaiah took a nap and fell into a deep dream about his past.

Broken-Arrow 8th-grade center.
"Mr. Greenwood... wake up!" a teacher says, clapping her hands near Isaiah's ear.
"Huh, Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Waters. Wait… Isaiah said, looking around.
"What are you doing here?" Isaiah said, standing up.
"Well, this is my class Mr.Greenwood unless you would like to teach." Mrs. Waters said.
"Nah, I'm good, Isaiah said, sitting back down.
Isaiah scans the class again and starts to remember his old classmates from 4 years ago.
Then he looks down at his disk and sees his agenda. Oct 5, 2038.
"No, don't tell me, am I back in the 8th grade !!?"

Author note:
Sorry for a short chapter guys but the next one will definitely be a banger.
Someone pointed out that Isaiah's past need to be a little more fleshed out so that's what will happen.
